Leah's Shave for MS

My friend Bron faces huge struggles living with Multiple Sclerosis, while trying to single-handedly run a household with two small children. She was a lawyer until a few years ago when her MS made that career impossible. She dearly wants to be able to continue to play an active part in raising her children, so after much research, she decided to go to Mexico for treatment that has a high success rate in halting further symptoms. Unfortunately, this treatment is unavailable in NZ, and will cost $100,000.

Bron will undergo chemotherapy in Mexico to allow the stem cell therapy to work - and in the process she will lose her hair. So it's rather appropriate that to raise funds for her, I shave my head too.

If you want to see the deed done, it'll be happening at 4.30pm on Sunday 16 June at D4 in Mana - please feel free to come along!
